The Eastern District Association of Primitive Baptists convened in its 147th annual session with Roller's Chapel Church, Clinchport, Virginia.
Roller's Chapel Church had its beginning in 1947. A man in the community by the name of Charles Roller had been called by God to preach His gospel. He cleaned his barn out and started conducting services there. The congregation began to grow and Brother Roller felt the need of a Primitive Baptist Church somewhere in the vicinity of Pattonsville. The closest church was either Burke's Union or Peterson's Chapel. This created a hardship on the people of the community since they had to walk to church. He contacted the people of the community and found that they were willing to establish a church. Brother Roller's father-in-law, J. A. Pearcy, willingly gave the land where the church now stands. Brother Roller owned and operated a saw mill at the time and sawed the church pattern. Men in the community came and helped erect the building. His wife, Pearly Mae, and other good women helped in every way possible. Elder Roller's dream became a reality in April, 1948 when the church was organized and lettered into the association that same year. Originally the church received twelve members by letter and nine by experience and baptism. Brother Cecil Bledsoe and Marion Edwards were the first deacons. Ida Pearcy was the first clerk. Brothers Echol Legg, Emmett Rhoten and Charles Roller were the first trustees of the church. Elders Ben Hill, Charles Roller and Alex Willis served as the church's first pastors. Elder Ben Hill brought the first message in the church after its erection. Others who have served as pastors are: Curtis Adams, Logan Willis, Bryan Moore, Corbett Bowen, Walter Pendergrass, Nelson Jones, Gerald Hopkins, J. D. Maggard, Don Woodward, Odus Caudill, Coy Willis, Mark Holder, and our present pastor, Greg Hill.
In 1961 Roller's Chapel hosted this great gathering for the first time. It was estimated that between 1,500 and 2,000 people attended daily. In 1969 the association met here again. Now, thirty years later we feel honored and privileged to once again be the host church. Goldia Legg, Lenna Bowen, Bryan and Mary Moore, Garley Hood, and so many others that we could call by name were here during the first two associations, are no longer with us but as we have heard one of our dear pastors (Brother Alex Willis) say, "They are just in the other room." We feel their presence with us.
There have been many changes made to the church building in the last several years. Changes and improvements that have helped make it more comfortable for the people. We feel like the same spirit that led Elder Roller so many years ago is the same spirit that leads and guides us today. God has not changed, He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Cool morning air gave way to bright sunshine as God's children gathered for the first day of the 147th association. Many acquaintances were renewed as everyone arrived. God's wonderful love was among His children. Sister Zula McCullough led the congregation in singing some wonderful songs of praise to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It won't be very long till Jesus shall appear, so we must tarry here and wait for Him. His matchless love will comfort us, for it is by faith we can see that land that is fairer than day where we will meet on that beautiful shore. In memory of Brother Hank Winegar, the congregation sang "Let My Life Be A Light." The model church is the true church set up by God. Let us all strive to live our life in a way that is pleasing to God.
Elder Terry Sizemore, moderator of the association, welcomed everyone and thanked God for this beautiful day He gave us. Changes in this life are many, but God changes not. He also brought to our attention the passing of Elder Bill Hatton since we last met and reminded everyone of our memorial service on Saturday.
Elder John Henry Sybert came forward and after a wonderful testimony, lead the congregation in singing the wonderful song of praise "Brethren We Have Met Again."
The moderator appointed the Committee on Religious Exercises which includes: Morris Giles (chairman), Grover Ferguson and Bobby Caudill.
Prayer is an opportunity to look beyond, forget the cares of this life and center our hearts and minds on the Lord. Only through His mercy are we gathered here. Let us not only love Him, but love one another as well. Prayer requests were made for the unsaved, Mary Smith, Raymond Disney, Junior Collier, Clarence New, Denny Hensley, family of Guy Eldridge, Perry Allen, Jr., our young people, Elmer Newberry, Jim Burke, A. D. Howington's wife and son, Irene "Tea" Winegar, Marvin Ketron, Leon Ritchie's wife, Delmas Harris, Jason Robinette's nephew, our nation, the leaders of our nation, the 17 year old girl, Megatha and many unspoken requests signified by uplifted hands. Elder Lucian Lane took our petitions to the Lord in a most humble prayer.
Elder Greg Hill, pastor of the host church, welcomed everyone while the Roller's Chapel singers were coming to the stand. He asked that we put everything behind us and worship God. We were blessed with songs of Zion from the church singers and by the Osborne Quartet. This earth holds no treasure for God's people because heaven holds all for the children of God. When He whispers sweet peace, all of life's misgivings disappear. As beggars we have nothing to give, but God gave His son and His son gave His life that we might go free.
Having been chosen to preach the introductory sermon, Elder Greg Hill came forward. He thanked God for all the help that was given to Roller's Chapel. He read from Zephaniah 2:1-3 and used as a thought "God gathered us together." Our life is hid in Christ and He is always in the midst of us. One day there will be a great gathering when Christ comes after His own. Elder Allen Hensley, the alternate, followed with another message from above. Great things happen when the Lord gathers His children together, for He gives them a mind to work. God is the author and finisher of our faith. He blesses us when we gather according to the terms He set up, which bring us together in one mind and one accord. Let us strive to please God rather than obey man. Tears of joy and shouts of praise were everywhere as the Lord blessed us through these men's preaching.
The congregation was adjourned for lunch with the singing of several songs of praise.
After a wonderful lunch served by the host church, the congregation gathered in the tent for the afternoon service with the singing of songs of praise. Oh the joy of that glad meeting just inside the eastern gate where we'll meet the One who saved us by His marvelous grace. 'Tis a sweet and glorious thought to know we'll live throughout eternity with our blessed Redeemer. His unseen hand leads us and guides us through this weary land till we reach that golden strand.
Elder Darrell Ratliff blessed us with his testimony and song of praise. We are homesick for sweet Beulah Land, where there are no sad goodbyes and time doesn't matter, for our home will be eternal.
Elder Terry Sizemore thanked the host church for the bountiful lunch and thanked God for His blessings. He asked that all ministers sign the register, including visiting ministers.
Stand tonight: Darrell Ratliff, Roger VanHoose and John Bowlin.
Liberty Chapel: Oscar Irvin, Arry Hickman and Paul Strong.
Stand, Friday morning, October 1, 1999: Larry Miller and Richard Seiber.

Brother Joe Robinette, chairman of the Committee on Church Letters, now reports 67 churches of which they recommend accepting. It was motioned, seconded and voted to accept the recommendations of the committee and seat those delegates duly elected or appointed by their respective churches as the voting body of the association.
Elder Sizemore asked for nominations for a moderator pro-tem to serve during the election of the association officials. Elder John Henry Sybert was nominated. It was motioned, seconded and voted for him to serve during the election. Elder Sybert thanked the delegation for their confidence in him just before the election.
Brother Danny Lawson was nominated to serve as clerk and treasurer. No other nominations were made and it was motioned, seconded and voted by acclamation for him to serve as clerk and treasurer for the ensuing year.
Elder Terry Sizemore was nominated to serve as moderator of the association. No other nominations were made and it was motioned, seconded and voted by acclamation for Elder Sizemore to serve as the moderator of the association for the ensuing year.
Elder Sizemore, speaking for himself and the clerk, thanked the delegation for their prayers and their confidence. The honor of serving this group of God's people is a humbling experience, and we both thank the delegation from the bottom of our hearts for their confidence and trust they put in us. Most of all, we thank God for giving us the opportunity to serve Him in this capacity. He also asked everyone to continue praying for them that the Lord's work would always be first and foremost in everything we do.

The moderator asked the delegation to consider our youth by checking into what might be done to get them more involved in our association. It was motioned to form a committee to determine the best approach for handling this matter. After much discussion, a second to the motion was not obtained, therefore the motion was dropped.
The moderator announced that direction books to the churches were available beside the clerk's table.
The business being concluded, the delegation was dismissed until Friday morning, October 1, 1999.
The weather was very cool, but that didn't dampen the spirits of God's children on the second day of the 147th association. Sister Zula McCullough led us in singing some hymns of praise to the Lord. God so wonderfully blessed His people as they praised Him through song. In this world we stand on the promises of God which deliver to us joy unspeakable and full of glory. The half has never been told about that city He has prepared for His children. Won't it be wonderful there when we fly away to our new home to be with the One that lead us by His unseen hand?
Elder Terry Sizemore, moderator of the association, welcomed everyone back to today's services, thanking God for His mercy. His blessings have been many during this great gathering.
Prayer requests were made for the unsaved, all those made in yesterday's services, family of Roger Keith, Taft Gilliam, Henry Hurd, Terry's brother, Henry Wheeler's neighbors - the Walker family, Lucian Lane's sister, and a host of unspoken request signified by uplifted hands. Elder Eddie Malone led us to the throne of grace with a most humble prayer.
With one minor correction it was motioned, seconded and voted to adopt the business proceedings of yesterday as read.
The West View singers blessed us with their songs. We know of a river that never runs dry and of a fountain that frees the soul from sin, for we long to see what heaven will be.
Having been chosen by the Committee on Religious Exercises, Elder Larry Miller came forward to take the first part of the service. He read Romans 8:1-3 and verse 21 using as a thought "The law that man comes under." The Lord has made us free. Old things have passed away because the Lord made us a new creature in Him. We are Christ-like in God and if our life is hid in Him, when He shall appear, we shall appear with Him. God's children have liberty and if we don't live a Godly life, it is our fault. Elder Richard Seiber followed with another message sent from heaven above. The river that flows from the throne of God will never run dry. His blessings are endless. He put our sins away as far as the east is from the west so that we might be free. We can do nothing in ourselves but only through Christ Jesus living within us. Let us do everything we do for the glory of God. These men preached so wonderful to us and God used them in a mighty way. Joy unspeakable and full of glory comes only from God. Don't be afraid to let the world know you are free.
The Riverside Quartet blessed us with their songs as we fellowshipped. Then we were adjourned for lunch.
After eating another good meal served by the host church, the congregation gathered in the tent for the afternoon service. Sister Zula McCullough led us as we sang praise to our most wonderful Savior. He showered us with holy manna from above. Can't you just imagine that wonderful place where there will be no sad good-byes or tear dimmed eyes and the soul of man never dies? In that land of uncloudy skies our eyes shall behold our home just waiting there for us at the end of life's troublesome ways. How beautiful heaven must be, for when we are happy in Him, all that is within us rejoices.
Elder Sizemore welcomed the congregation back while thanking God for His blessings. He asked everyone to obey the Lord and thanked the host church for the wonderful job they have done serving this great body. The Lord will always make a way!
Prayer requests were made for the unsaved, all those made in earlier services, the revival at Richardson's Chapel, Elder Leonard Flanary, Sister Bennett from Macedonia, Joyce Carr and many unspoken requests signified by uplifted hands. Brother Joe Pitzer took our petitions to the Lord.
Stand tonight: David VanHoose, Lewis Baker and Harold Shaw.
Poplar Grove: Darrell Ratliff and Bill VanHoose.
Liberty Chapel: John Arnott, A. D. Howington and Gale Derrick.
Stand, Saturday morning, October 2, 1999: Terry Sizemore and John Henry Sybert.
The Committee on Finance reported $5,332.00 in receipts for the year.
The Committee on Obituaries reported that 62 had been received at this time.
The Committee on Arrangements and/or Queries reported that two were received. The committee determined that one was answered last year and the other had been answered earlier as printed in the minutes. A motion was made to read the query from Rose Chapel as an appeal to the committee's findings, but no second was obtained, therefore the motion was dropped.
The men responsible for writing this year's circular letter came forward. Elders Roger Trent and Jason Robinette looked on as Elder James Jarnigan read the letter. Its content was straightforward that we all must present ourselves wholly and acceptable to God. Everyone should study to show themselves approved and always love one another, even those that might despitefully use us. We must love as the Lord loves. It was motioned, seconded and voted to print it in the minutes as read.
Elder Sizemore appointed 3 brethren to prepare the circular letter for 2000. They are: Elders Richard Seiber and Greg Hill and Brother Delmer Wallen, Sr.
Elder Carl Lawson asked the delegation to relieve him as chairman of the committee to oversee the electrical and PA systems. He recommended that Brother Delmer McPherson serve as the chairman of this committee. The association accepted his recommendation and it was motioned, seconded and voted that the following committee oversee the association electrical and PA systems: Brother Delmer McPherson (chairman), Elder Carl Lawson, Elder Howard Sybert, Brothers Scott Mellons, Bobby Caudill, Roger Smith and Danny Lawson.
Elder Hasco Jenkins made a motion for the association to purchase a desk light and place it on the stand to help those trying to read. The motion was seconded and Elder Tommy Meade offered to donate one to the association. The association agreed to accept the offer, so the motion and second were withdrawn.
Brother Jim Bowlin asked the association to remember Hyder Reynolds at the loss of his mother. This man has been a tremendous help to this association in moving the kitchen from one location to another, as well as keeping it in running order.
It was brought to the attention of the association that some larger kerosene heaters might need to be obtained for the tent. No discussion was forthcoming, so the matter was dropped.
There were 5 churches that asked for the association to meet with them in 2000. One of these withdrew before the plea process leaving Beech Grove, Butcher's Valley, Clear Springs and House Chapel. During the plea process another church withdrew leaving the vote between Beech Grove, Butcher's Valley and Clear Springs. By a clear majority, the delegation sent the association to Butcher's Valley, where the Lord willing we will convene on Thursday morning (October 5, 2000) before the first Saturday in October, 2000. Introductory - Elder Henry Wheeler; Alternate - Elder Delmas Harris.
Adjourned until Saturday morning, October 3, 1999.
The sun shined over the trees and down into the valley as God's people gathered for the memorial service on this third day of the association. The Lord has blessed us with such beautiful weather thus far in all the services. We were blessed with several individuals singing songs of Zion in honor and praise to our blessed Redeemer just before Sister Zula McCullough led the congregation in singing some blessed old hymns. We are redeemed by love divine, for on that resurrection morning when the trump of God shall sound, we shall rise to our new home on high. Oh, I want to see Him and look upon His face in that land where we'll never grow old!
Elder Sizemore welcomed the congregation back to today's service. Thanks be to God for all His blessings and watchcare over us. This is a very special day where we honor the memory of those gone on to their reward. We may be sad at their passing, but we should be glad for they are with the Lord. Blessed in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.
The Clear Springs Quartet filled our hearts with joy with their songs of praise and wonderful testimony. Weep not friends, we're going home to glory land where we'll die no more. One day the mighty hand of God will come down to move His children out. Sister Naomi Atkins reminded us in song that while He is truly God on the mountain, He is still God in the valley. Our God is not dead like so many religions have, but our God is alive today and forevermore. We must live our lives to let all know we belong to God. Our hope is that the lost would realize their need for Christ in their life and find Him precious to their soul before it is everlasting too late.
Prayer requests were made for the unsaved, all the requests made in earlier services, Ora Arnott, Iona Scott, the dear ladies' son and brother, the precious little girl's mom and family, John Henry Sybert, Tommy Meade's son and brothers, Donald Sybert's daughters and sons-in-law, Bill Bowlin, a host of unspoken requests signified by uplifted hands and many more that the clerk did not know or could not understand the names. Brother Jonathan Buttry led us to the throne of grace.
With one minor wording change, it was motioned, seconded and voted to adopt the business proceedings of yesterday as read.
Stand tonight: John Arnott, Jason Robinette and Jonathan Buttry.
Liberty Chapel: Lucian Lane and Hasco Jenkins.
Wallen's Creek: A. D. Howington, Wayne Morgan and Earnest Bledsoe.
Stand, Sunday morning, October 3, 1999: Jerry Johnson and Delmas Harris.
Sunday night, October 3, 1999: Beech Grove, Paul Strong; Shelby Creek, Harold Head and David Smith.
The Osborne Quartet blessed us with their songs. God sees beyond today and if we are to ever understand, we must cling to His saving hand. Some day we will understand it all when He calls His children to their home on high. Sister Aubra Hill reminded us we must be about His business and praise His holy name. We all want to say, I want the Lord to be satisfied with me, but we must do everything for His glory and honor and He will smile and let us know that He is satisfied with us.
Our memorial service has been a part of this association since 1956, so the moderator read the names of those dear departed saints which we remember today. Yes, we miss them tremendously but they are at rest with our blessed Redeemer. Thank God that He allowed them to be with us as long as He did.
Elder John Henry Sybert came forward to take the first part of the service. He read from II Timothy 1:1-12 and used as his thought "The Unfeigned Faith." Unfeigned faith is genuine, it does not try to fool anyone. Like many we are told about in the Bible that had this unfeigned faith, these dear saints that have passed from among us since we last gathered together had unfeigned faith, also. It comes only from God and only in His way will He deliver it to His children. Elder Terry Sizemore followed with another wonderful message sent down from heaven. God is due all praise and honor. It is impossible to do too much for the Lord. He sent His Son to seek and to save that which was lost, and by this His marvelous salvation was freely offered to all. Let us be willing vessels so God can use us to His glory. In a world filled with fakes and imitations, it is a blessing from God to know the genuine faith that is the unfeigned faith. The God our forefathers served 147 years ago is the same God we serve today, for He is the same yesterday, today and forevermore. We don't need anything new, we have the best of the best, and that is Christ Jesus the Lord.
We were adjourned until Sunday morning, October 3, 1999.
The Lord blessed His children with another beautiful day for this the last day of this great gathering. Just watching as everyone entered the church, smiling, basking in the blessings of the Lord. The church was filled and many were outside, but the Lord was all around.
We were blessed with congregational singing. Our victory is in the precious blood of the Lamb. Some sweet day we'll sing the song of victory. We are living in a brand new world since the Lord saved us. When misgivings darken our way, the Lord whispers sweet peace to us in that still small voice to dispel all our fears. Peace, peace, wonderful peace coming down from the Father above sweeps over our spirit to lead and guide us. God leads His dear children along in varying ways according to His blessed will.
We were further blessed by special singing and testimonies from Sister Cora L. Neeley, Sister Doris Burke and others. A better home awaits for us just beyond the gates. No matter what we are faced with in this life, we must take the road we know for it leads us to Jesus. We have so much to thank Him for, so let us search out the old paths and walk therein. We must not let dust gather where we used to pray, but we must pray more for each other and do the will of our Father.
Elder Greg Hill, pastor of the host church, welcomed everyone thanking God for all He has done. The people of Roller's Chapel count it a privilege and honor to have served this grand body of God's children.
Prayer requests were made for the unsaved, Edith Eldridge, Mary Bloomer's mother, brother and sister, dear ladies son and grandson, Maebelle Wilson and Linel, Dustin Lawson's friends John Kirk and Kelly Light, now serving in the U.S. Marine Corps and Kevin Burke, Claude Osborne's son, Greg Hill's children, all our young people, and old as well, all our churches, especially those without a pastor, and a host of unspoken requests signified by uplifted hands. Brother Harmon Willis led us to the throne of grace. We were blessed to hear many wonderful testimonies that the clerk was unable to get all the names, but the Lord knows each and every one of them.
Elder Delmas Harris, having been chosen by the Committee on Religious Exercises, came forward to take the first part of the service. He read from St. John 4:34-38 using as a thought "Obedience to the Spirit of God." God gives His children a mind to work; that is, to do the things He would have them do. God didn't just think about it, but He sent His Son to make a way where we might have a home eternal in the heavens. Let us not just think about it, but do what God puts in our mind to do. We are not saved to just sit back and think, but to go out to the highways and the byways and the hedges to compel the sinners to come in that they might be saved by the grace of God. Elder Woodrow Fields followed with another inspiring message from above. We have a better place waiting for us, but let us work for the Lord in this life so we can enjoy His blessings here, too. If we don't obey God, it may hinder some of our friends and loved ones from ever coming to know Christ in the free pardon of sin. Through Christ we can sow the seed and water it, but God must give the increase. He will give us rest if we will come to Him in faith believing. These men preached so wonderfully.
We were proud to have several preaching brethren in attendance today. We have a lot to be thankful for in our preaching brethren. God has blessed us with men who will stand and preach the Word of God in a time when it is not popular. We thank God for each and every one of them and pray that God would bless them tremendously wherever He may send them to do His work.
This has been a truly wonderful week in the Lord. Words cannot express what He has done for His children. We do not know what seeds have been sown here this week that will be watered on down the road to yield an increase in days to come. I hope in some way that as you read these few words they will be a blessing to you and to others that were not able to attend. I pray that the same spirit that blessed me while writing them will do the same for you. Ignore the mistakes and realize the intent in which it was written, that being the love of a brother in Christ as we press on toward our eternal home. May the Lord richly bless each one of you. Remember all our churches in prayer, and never forget to give the Lord all the honor and praise that we might see many souls saved. God bless and keep each and every one of you until we meet again.

Q: how to pass json or class object to command line php script I have
$client = new Google_Client();

And it's token in json.
Now I want to pass this client object as well as json token to another script via shell_exec().
Let's assume command as
php myscript.php var1 var2 $client $token

Now as command line takes all argument as string I am not able to pass the json and client object.  For json I found serialize() and unserialize() functions that I can pass to command prompt but what about $client object how to pass it to command prompt? Please Help.

A: Serialize will also "stringify" objects! You can also base64 encode/decode your arguments to prevent special chars troubles :
$aArgs = array($client, $token);
$sArgs = base64_encode(serialize($aArgs));
exec('php myscript.php '.$sArgs);

A: I'd use json_encode():
Preferred method to store PHP arrays (json_encode vs serialize)
TLDR? There are some possible issues with json_encode():

*

*By default, json_encode() converts UTF-8 characters to Unicode escape
sequences while serialize() does not. Note: To leave UTF-8 characters
untouched, you can use the option JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE as of PHP
5.4.

*JSON will have no memory of what the object's original class was (they are always restored as instances of stdClass).

*You can't leverage __sleep() and __wakeup() with JSON

*Only public properties are serialized with JSON

*JSON is more portable

But if none of these things are an issue for your use case. it's 100-150% faster than serialize(). (Your Google_Client() class will be converted to a standard class when you decode the string).
// Script that kicks off the background task
$aArgs = array($client, $token);
$sArgs = base64_encode(json_encode($aArgs));
exec('php myscript.php '.$sArgs . ' > /dev/null 2>/dev/null &');

// myscript.php
$sArgs = json_decode(base64_decode($argv[1]));
// do something with $sArgs here...

A: This is kind of tricky.
First and foremost, if you want to pass exactly the same object to another script, why dont you include it? Or create some function to run instead?
Second, why don't you create your object in that script? It would save you a lot of trouble.
If you absolutely have to pass the object to another script via shell_exec, you may use the serialize() function, but there are a few caveats:

*

*Of course you have to escape it, e.g. with escapeshellarg

*If your object contains any resources (such as fopen handle, directly or indirectly), they will not be serialized and thus you will lose them

*Your script must be aware of yout Google_Client class definition, and definition of any class that it contains reference to. Otherwise it will be unserialized as __PHP_Incomplete_Class and effectively unusable.

check the manual page serialize

serialize() handles all types, except the
  resource-type. You can even serialize() arrays that contain references
  to itself. Circular references inside the array/object you are
  serializing will also be stored. Any other reference will be lost.
  When serializing objects, PHP will attempt to call the member function
  __sleep() prior to serialization. This is to allow the object to do any last minute clean-up, etc. prior to being serialized. Likewise,
  when the object is restored using unserialize() the __wakeup() member
  function is called.

and the one for unserialize

Note: unserialize_callback_func directive It's possible to set a
  callback-function which will be called, if an undefined class should
  be instantiated during unserializing. (to prevent getting an
  incomplete object "__PHP_Incomplete_Class".) Use your php.ini,
  ini_set() or .htaccess to define 'unserialize_callback_func'.
  Everytime an undefined class should be instantiated, it'll be called.
  To disable this feature just empty this setting.

Entrepreneurship is like life, says Anirush Pandita, which keeps fluctuating and gives you both bad and good days. Rightly said, when starting something new many things seem difficult, and they tend to be difficult, but when something good happens, it could bring so much joy that everything else is forgotten.
Co-Founder of Pocket Aces, Anirudh talks about his entrepreneurial journey and how they want to change India with their startup. A media company of choice for the Indian Millennial, Anirudh believes that experience has really helped them reach where they are. They had an idea but it wasn't a fly in the night idea where one day they thought about it and executed it the next day. Rather, they worked on it, talked about the key trends and brought their education and exposure to the table.
The more you work on your venture, more chances it has of being successful. Talking about this journey, Anirudh says that when they started up, they went out to talk to the people of startup ecosystem, publishers and writers and it was a thought out plan. This is the reason they are not afraid to fail.


As design-build agreements become more widely used, case law shows that the parties to these agreements -- as well as the judges who interpret them -- do not always fully understand them. Specifically, the parties may be confused about liability for performance warranties and guarantees. This article provides an overview of those misconceptions and how they've played out in various courts so that judges, lawyers, owners, contractors and others can take steps to protect themselves from liability or defend against liability in litigation.
Owners that enter into design-build contracts have one primary challenge: letting go of their control over the project.
In traditional design-bid-build arrangements, the owner and architect hash out the project's design and then the owner hires a contractor to build the structure. The architect becomes the owner's "eyes and ears, policing the construction project and protecting the interests of the owner by evaluating and criticizing the performance of the general contractor." (Stephen Wichern, Protecting Design-Build Owners Through Design Liability Coverage, Independent Construction Managers, and Quality Control Procedures, 32 Transportation Law Journal 35 (Fall 2004)). Under this model, the owner also gives the contractor an implied warranty that the plans and specifications are free from defect and the contractor can build the structure exclusively from those plans and specs. If the contractor incurs damages due to defective plans or specs, it can recover from the owner under the Spearin doctrine (see U.S. v. Spearin, 248 U.S. 132 (1918) and Gordon Hunt and John Darling, Practice Tips: The Allocation of Risks in a Design/Build Construction Project, 21 Los Angeles Lawyer 21 (Jan. 1999)).
In design-build, however, the owner turns over all design and construction work to one entity. In so doing, the owner avoids the implied warranty liability described above. "A properly written and administered design-build contract transfers the risk of design insufficiency from the [owner] to the design-builder. The owner is shielded when the design results in cost overruns or does not work," the Veteran's Administration Board of Contract Appeals explained in Appeal of Donahue Electric, Inc., VABCA No. 6618 (Dec. 27, 2002). Yet the owner also loses its ability to implement quality control measures in the design and construction phases. An owner that insists on making significant changes to the design-build entity's plans and specs opens itself up to Spearin doctrine liability. For example, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Joint Task Force on Design-Build, Current Design-Build Practices for Transportation Projects, para. 6.3, cautions that "Owners that involve themselves in the design process to a significant degree, placing considerable constraints on the designbuilder, could be held liable for the entire project design." The same liability risks arise when an owner uses an architect not associated with the design-build firm to make significant changes to the design-build entity's plans and specs (see Hunt and Darling).

Washington Post: Gov. Northam says he wants 'to heal that pain' of racial inequality, won't resign
Posted 2:40 pm, February 9, 2019, by CNN Wire
Embattled Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said Saturday he feels he should remain in office to help his state heal and use the rest of his term to pursue racial "equity" — hoping to move on from a racist photograph scandal and admission of donning blackface in the past.
"It's been a horrific week for Virginia. A lot of individuals across Virginia have been hurt," Northam told The Washington Post Saturday in his first interview since the racist photograph surfaced February 1.
He acknowledged that he has "a lot more to learn," the Post reported.
"The more I know, the more I can do," he told the newspaper, adding, "I want to heal that pain, and I want to make sure that all Virginians have equal opportunity … and I think I'm the person that can do that for Virginia."
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam says he wants 'to heal that pain' of racial inequality, won't resign
Northam has been called to resign after the public reveal of a photograph in his 1984 medical school yearbook page featuring two individuals in racist costumes — one in blackface and the other in a Ku Klux Klan outfit. Northam initially apologized and said he was one of the people in the photo, but later recanted in a news conference a day later, saying he was not in the picture.
During that news conference, Northam said he had no plans to resign and also revealed that he had once darkened his face to resemble Michael Jackson during a dance contest in the 1980s.
Now aware his past actions have been "very offensive," Northam told the Post Saturday he has directed his Cabinet to draw up proposals to tackle inequality in Virginia.
"It's obvious from what happened this week that we still have a lot of work to do. There are still some very deep wounds in Virginia, and especially in the area of equity," Northam told the newspaper, adding, "It has really raised the level of awareness for racial issues in Virginia. And so we're ready to learn from our mistakes."
He also told the Post that he "overreacted" with releasing his initial statement saying he was one of the two men in the racist yearbook photograph.
"If I had it to do over, I would step back and take a deep breath," he said, the Post reported.
Northam plans to embark on a "reconciliation tour" around the state to engage in discussions about race and healing, the Post reported.
He also vowed to "take a harder line" on Confederate statues in Virginia and to implement sensitivity training in his government, according to the Post.
When asked by the Post if a portrait of a former Virginia governor who defended slavery should be removed from the governor's mansion, Northam replied, "Well, I think that's an important part of history, and we need to tell all history. We have good history in Virginia … and we have history that's not good, and I don't think we can shy away from any of it. We must tell it all, we must put it in perspective."

CDC releases surveillance data on waterborne disease outbreaks
CDC has released two MMWR Surveillance Summaries: "Surveillance for Waterborne Disease Outbreaks and Other Health Events Associated with Recreational Water – United States, 2007-2008" and "Surveillance for Waterborne Disease Outbreaks Associated with Drinking Water – United States, 2007-2008."
The reports cover outbreaks associated with recreational water (e.g., swimming pools) and drinking water. In 2007-2008, the most recent year for which waterborne disease outbreak data are finalized, 134 outbreaks were associated with recreational water and 36 outbreaks were associated with drinking water.         Â
Thursday, September 22, 2011, embargoed until noon ET
CDC′s MMWR Surveillance Summaries – http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/mmwr_ss/ss_cvol.html
For January 2007-December 2008, 134 recreational water illness outbreaks were reported by 38 states and Puerto Rico, with at least 13,966 cases of illness. This represents the highest number of recreational water illness outbreaks ever reported in a two-year span. The number of recreational water illness outbreaks increased by 72 percent since 2005-2006. These include outbreaks linked to swimming pools, spas, lakes, rivers and ocean water. Almost half (60 outbreaks or 45 percent) were caused by Cryptosporidium, an extremely chlorine tolerant parasite. The increase during the two year span is largely due to increases in outbreaks associated with Cryptosporidium. Reversing this trend will require improvements in swimming pool disinfection and operation, pool regulations and enforcement, and swimmer hygiene.
Preventing recreational water illness outbreaks:
These healthy swimming steps can help stop the spread of germs where we swim:
Don't swim when you have diarrhea. You can spread germs in the water and make other people sick.
Don't swallow the pool water. Avoid getting water in your mouth.
Practice good hygiene. Shower with soap before swimming and wash your hands after using the toilet or changing diapers. Germs on your body end up in the water.
In addition, during 2007–2008, more than 4,000 cases of illnesses and injuries were caused by pool chemicals annually. These illnesses and injuries were linked to both private and public pools and often can be prevented by good chemical handling practices.
Eight fatal cases of primary amebic meningoencephalitis, a very rare and deadly brain infection caused by the freshwater ameba Naegleria fowleri occurred during 2007-2008. These cases were all linked to exposure to untreated fresh water, such as lakes and ponds. The only certain way to prevent these infections is to refrain from water-related activities in or with warm freshwater. However, you might reduce your risk when swimming in warm, shallow freshwater by avoiding warm freshwater during periods when the temperature is high and water levels are low, holding your nose or using nose clips, and avoiding digging in or stirring up the sediment.
Outbreaks associated with drinking water:
From January 2007-December 2008, 23 states and Puerto Rico reported 36 outbreaks associated with drinking water. These outbreaks led to 4,128 cases of illness and 3 deaths. More than half of the drinking water–associated outbreaks reported during the 2007–2008 surveillance period were associated with untreated or inadequately treated ground water, indicating that contamination of ground water remains an important public health problem.
Outbreaks caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, and chemicals were reported. Legionella alone accounted for one third of the outbreaks associated with drinking water. Legionella can cause severe respiratory illness and leads to 8,000 to 18,000 hospitalizations per year.

This is a mammal which eats ants and termites. It is very shy. The passerby, who noticed the anteater on the road, captured it and took it to Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens.
However, the zoo authorities advised them to leave it back near the tank as it was used to natural habitat.

Media Release: US commitment to Australian tyre recycling technology is increased
April 20, 2020 by Theo
A US tyre recycling company has increased its commitment to Australian technology by doubling the number of plants they are proposing to build.
The original agreement provided for ten tyre recycling facilities across the United States, but this number has now increased to fifteen with construction of three key ones to commence as soon as the agreements and Government approvals are obtained.
GDT's Chief Operating Officer Trevor Bayley, said that although the cost was in the vicinity of $US150 million, they couldn't be specific at this time as there are many different variables yet to consider in terms of the cost of obtaining key components for each the plant locally, site selection and so on.
"However, our policy is for the joint venture company to construct the plant at cost as we want to maintain our interest in the plant and provide on-going input to future operations and also be able to implement new technology improvements as our research and development discovers new ways of improving our performance.
"This is in contrast to other tyre recycling plant providers, who can supply an off the shelf plant for say $US35-40 million, but incorporate their profit in the cost of the plant and then walk away.
"These are typically European or US designed plants that use crumb rubber as feedstock and produce a low quality liquid hydrocarbon, self-styled as 'Rubber Derived Liquid' and a carbon product that needs further processing if it is to achieve a value of sufficient size to make the enterprise profitable.
"By contrast, we obtain high value oil, carbon and steel, which is in demand by world markets at international market prices," Trevor Bayley said.
He said that the US, like most countries around the world, has a significant end-of-life tyre disposal problem and generates 250 to 300 million end-of-life tyres a year.
In contrast, Australia reaches 25 million, but world-wide the number of end-of-life tyres is increasing fast in India and China and the world total of EOL tyres generated a year is in excess of one and a half billion.
"In light of this burgeoning environmental disposal problem our approach provides a recycling solution as we turn a world problem into valuable and saleable materials.
"Every plant we build, with six modules and operating 24/7 will process a mix of 19,000 tonnes of end-of-life tyres per year. Each typical 10 kg car tyre will yield 4 litres of oil, 4kg of carbon, 2kg of steel, a 70kg truck tyre will provide 27 litres of oil, 28 kg of carbon, 15 kg of steel and 4 tonne oversize mining dump truck tyre will yield 1.6 tonnes of carbon, 0.8 tonne of steel and 1500 litres of oil.
"Each plant is expected to need a permanent workforce of fifteen and require more people during the construction phase and have a local economic multiplier effect with more people required to collect and deliver the tyres to the plant.
"As well as the United States, our Australian developed world-first tyre recycling process has attracted strong international interest which has resulted in a recent Memorandum of Understanding for five processing plants in South Africa valued at more than AUD$50 million.
"In Australia we have our original plant at Warren, in Western New South Wales which we are upgrading to full production capacity and have all the Government approvals in place for another in Toowoomba, as well as plans for other facilities in Gladstone, Wagga, Geelong, Elizabeth and Collie, Western Australia.
"In view of the world-wide interest in our technology it is no wonder that we have also welcomed visitors to our Warren plant from almost every country on the planet including Japan, Thailand, Canada, the United States, Middle East, Pakistan and India to name a few.
"What we have done is a world breakthrough and we believe that in time our technology will become the preferred means of recycling end-of-life tyres throughout the world," Trevor Bayley said.

Latrine Duty
April 16, 2016 March 2, 2016 Les Weil
by Tilia Klebenov Jacobs
The bathroom never had a chance. Marcela tackled it with military precision, quadrant by quadrant, and soon it was hers again.
First off, the towels would have to go. Luis's mom had been a godsend these past six months, staying at the house, taking care of the boys, holding Jaime's hand when he took his first, rubbery steps. Goddamn it. Marcela took her mother-in-law's towels and tossed them in the hamper. She'd give them back on Sunday after church, clean and fluffy and folded. But they were too cheerful and too pink for this bathroom.
Marcela hung up the old towels. There, she wasn't going overboard. Not like they were camo or anything. Just blue with a nice stripe.
The toilet was next. A lot can happen in a toilet in six months, and Marcela made her face Air Force stony as she lifted the lid. Luis's mom was more relaxed about housekeeping than Marcela. Unlike her daughter-in-law, she had never studied epidemiology. That was before Marcela had done a surgery rotation that took her breath away. To hold torn but living flesh in her hands and make it right again, restoring its perfection—there was nothing like it. Scrubbing up made her heart beat harder. Stepping into the OR was like entering a world where she was in charge of the universe. She could see God's design in the curve of each bone. It was like working in concert with Him. During surgery her fingers were transcendent. She had a gift and a duty to use it.
There was a danger, one of her colleagues had pointed out, in assuming they were doing God's work, as they were surrounded by people who felt the same way but expressed it differently. Marcela agreed, but was pretty sure that healing the wounded was closer to divine good than planting IEDs where NATO troops might be located but civilians and children certainly were.
Marcela propped open the toilet lid, then lifted the seat with her other hand. The bowl was okay, not gleaming but not glowering either. Hell of a lot better than the stinking holes most of her patients had to use, this past half a year. She dumped in some bleach and let it sit. Then she got on her knees and peered behind the toilet.
The mother lode.
Roberto was six; Jaime was still toddling. The toilet bowl was a guideline, not a legitimate military target. Marcela grabbed a brush and some cleaner and started scrubbing the floor and wall behind the porcelain.
In some ways, being out there had been easier. She had had her own room in a B-hut with, thank God, her own AC unit, and the days had a monotonous regularity. Sleep alone on a narrow cot and never have to worry about waking the other person. Eat food someone else had cooked. Dress herself. For six months no diapers, no easing floppy feet into socks, no getting clothes onto anyone but herself. She would run laps before the day got too hot and the desert sun turned her strength to water. After that, surgery. Most days. Her obligations went in one direction instead of many. And she hadn't cleaned a bathroom in six months. Over there, she was too important.
Those brown, desert children looked exactly like her own: dusky skin, dark hair, and eyes the color of coffee beans. Jamie and Roberto were still asleep, but she could feel their presence as if the house were breathing and she could ride the soft ups and downs of its breaths. It was her first weekend home; she'd had just enough time to shake most of the jet lag. Now it was time to reestablish herself in her own house. Some things had changed and could stay changed; some things would go back to the way they had been before. Jaime was wearing a new brand of diapers. The old ones had started giving him a rash, Luis explained. That was okay. And she had been staggered to find that Roberto now liked tomatoes. Well, that was okay, too. But unmade beds and smelly bathrooms—those days were gone. Because what kind of a mother would she be if she let those things stand?
Home wasn't all scrubbing out latrines, though. The day looked to be cold and rainy, so she would make everyone tomato soup and grilled cheese for lunch. The boys would want to play video games, which she and Luis limited. If the rain held off long enough, she'd shove them out into the yard to run around for a while.
Marcela would never again take running for granted. Especially not running children.
Her first amputation over there still haunted her. It wasn't her fault. Even here, even in the best hospital in the world, that woman would probably still have died. By the time her husband brought her in she wasn't much more than a pulse held together with tatters of skin. He had known not to use a tourniquet, he said. But he didn't know how else to stop the bleeding. And his wife wouldn't go to a male doctor. The woman's eyes opened briefly and focused on Marcela. Thank God, the husband said. That was a good sign, wasn't it?
Marcela could smell the rotting flesh before she cut away the clothes. She cut the leg off above the knee. The patient had died on the table.
Afterwards, Marcela asked the chief surgeon if the family wanted the leg. She didn't know anything about Muslim burial customs. Do they need this? she said. Do we—wrap it up for them? And they had been in surgery for sixteen hours straight with nothing but blood and bone fragments and the clink of shrapnel landing in metal bowls as they pulled it out of arms and legs and chests and faces, and suddenly they couldn't stop laughing. Is this for here or to go? Marcela prayed the woman's husband hadn't heard them.
Sometimes when Marcela cleaned the bathroom, she put on latex gloves. Like surgical gloves. But when she checked the box of disposable gloves in the closet, it was empty. She put Gloves on her mental shopping list and went back to scrubbing.
Her first patient over there had been a kid Roberto's age, about six. His brother carried him in, big kid, maybe thirteen, doing his damndest not to cry. Land mine. Someone else set it off. The little boy hadn't been right on top of it, which was why he was still alive. But he'd been close enough. Marcela had saved about half his hand: index finger, middle finger, and thumb. His palm was torn up, but it would heal. The boy would be able to hold a pencil. He could go to school, if there was one. When he grew up, he could have a trade. Marcela knew most of the other doctors couldn't have done that much. Hands were her specialty. Still, the brother's half-sobbed thank you had hit her like a sucker punch.
Marcela loved hands. The way each of the carpal bones blossomed from a single center of ossification, rough surfaces on the bones providing a grip for ligaments, concave bones anchoring muscles. Hands, she thought, are the architects of dreams and the wizards of desire. They draw and write and paint and gesture. They fling to the air in triumph and clench in fury and despair. Hands make you human.
Maybe she'd let Roberto and Jaime play extra video games today. Just for the joy of watching their thumbs tap swiftly and expertly on the consoles. Even Jaime was good at it. Perfect hands, bones held together with a web of muscle and tendon and skin.
There was no soap in the sink. Marcela wondered how long it had been gone. Those boys. She reached into the vanity and pulled out a fresh bar, unwrapped it and set it in the bone-dry soap dish. Her boys' perfect hands might as well be clean.
To the kids, she wasn't Doctor anything. She sure wasn't Air Force Major Marcela Ruíz. Here, at home, she held special titles only two people could use, and they chimed in her ears like soft bells whenever the boys spoke them. Mom. Mommy. And sometimes Mamá.
Someday, chances were good they would be proud of the work she'd done over there. But not now. Now they were just glad she was back. When Mommy comes marching home again, hurrah. Hurrah.
Luis and the kids would wake up to a clean bathroom. It would be utterly wasted on them, but that wasn't the point. She was back and taking care of them. Marcela had other gifts besides medicine.

Wow. Powerful. Most of the PTSD type stories I have run across have been about the front line guys. This was a wonderful perspective and I hate to say it, stirred up my own memories of my times in the "Sand Box".
Tilia Klebenov Jacobs says:
Wow! Thanks, Dave. That means a lot, coming from someone with your experience. Thanks for writing in.
A blessed, integrated worldview sees every task as inspired by love, which motivates one to do his or her best. Thank you for this deceptively simple and well-written tale.
Yes, love–but also honor and duty. So glad you enjoyed it!
Lots of powerful stuff: the contrast between the lyric description of hand architecture, and the grisly humor of limbs to go; the evocation of guilt at failing as a surgical savior; the complex of feelings about competence; the arid wittiness about toilet accuracy. Lots and lots!
A minor point: the paragraph "Sometimes when Marcella cleaned…scrubbing" jarred me a bit, pulling me away from the sweep of the story.
But really great stuff.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to write in.
This is a fabulous story. 'a pulse held together with tatters of skin' – wow. 'the mother lode' – hilarious, in context. Perhaps you could resubmit this story to markets that accept reprints. So well done!
Thanks, Brenda. I'll look around! Some places do take reprints. I appreciate the vote of confidence.

Feds back court ban on proof of citizenship for voter registration
By JOSH GERSTEIN
In an unusual move, the Obama Administration is backing the issuance of a court injunction blocking a federal official's decision to approve new voter registration forms that allow three states to insist that voters provide copies of documents proving their U.S. citizenship.
In legal papers filed Monday morning, the Justice Department urged U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon to grant a preliminary injunction sought by the League of Women Voters aimed at preventing Kansas, Alabama and Georgia from using so-called "motor voter" forms that require proof of citizenship.
The Justice Department's action is uncommon because the agency represents the defendants targeted in the lawsuit—the federal Election Assistance Commission and its acting executive director Brian Newby. Newby issued a directive on Jan. 29 allowing the three states in question to change the federal forms' instructions to reference to the proof of citizenship requirement.
"The United States consents to plaintiffs' request for entry of a preliminary injunction....Because the Executive Director did not determine that the states' documentation requirements were necessary to verify voter eligibility, the decisions cannot pass muster under the [Administrative Procedure Act,]" DOJ lawyers wrote. "The Executive Director did not 'consider[] the relevant factors...' or 'articulate a satisfactory explanation for its action.'"
Voting rights groups have long opposed such proof-of-citizenship requirements, arguing that many Americans don't have the needed documents and that insisting on such proof will disenfranchise poor, minority and elderly voters. The Obama Administration clearly agrees and is therefore offering the unusual endorsement of a court order that would tie the hands of federal officials.
The Justice Department's stance leaves the lawsuit with no party opposing the injunction. However, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach filed a motion Friday seeking to intervene in order to defend his state's position.
The new requirements could have most immediate effect in Georgia, where registration is still open for state and federal primaries on May 24. In addition, Kansas is holding caucuses on March 5 and allows voters to register as Democrats as late as that day to join in the caucus.
Leon is scheduled to hold a hearing on the injunction request Monday afternoon.
In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated an Arizona law requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration, but the court's majority opinion written by recently-deceased Justice Antonin Scalia said the states could seek approval for such changes from the Election Assistance Commission.
A federal appeals court ruled in 2014 that the commission was not required to insert such changes on the federal form. Last year, the Supreme Court declined to review that ruling.
